I like the idea of the integrated option as it doesn't take you out of
the programming guide to see the data. As for the keybinding, I've
thought for a long time there should be some kind of pop-up menu
(similar to what happens when you press INFO in the Watch Recordings
Screen) for the guide that offers choices like (record/edit recording
schedule, tune this channel, find all episodes, etc.) and your IMDB
lookup could be included there. I'm not sure how others feel about such
a pop-up idea...
